    It's too good to be true. If you can unload CP3 contract and get somebody useful in return it's a no brainer, not to mention the picks you get in return.

    CP3 might kill Morey if he forces him to waste his remaining years left in the league playing for the Suns. I'm worried that he will also fray Harden's relationship with morey too on his way out.

    I might trade CP3 for expirings at this point.

    Maybe we are decent next year but the next 2 years are going to be awful

    If Paul and his agent think he'll be traded to the Suns then maybe he'd be willing to renegotiate his contract; otherwise the Rockets are pretty screwed by not having any cap space. and Harden's prime years will be wasted

    I don't think they are allowed to renegotiate.

    Heat and cavs want him, they have tons of payroll.
    Idea,
    Jr Smith has the most valuable contract in nba = lotto pick = ask Carl herra
    Paul and nene for love, smith

    We are not trading CP3.

    The repercussions would be too bad

    If this is true then Morey does the deal in a nano second. No Questions asked.

    Repercussions or not, the Repercussions of being screwed by Referees especially with Scott Foster tied with Chris Paul.

    Chris Paul is a black cloud, tied up with a really overpaid salary.

    Chris Paul is 12 - 15 million player a year not 44 million. It is nuts to keep him.

    The Rockets cannot add salary, because of Chris Paul.

    Chris Paul was coasting this year and during the GSW had 11 ppg 5 asts are you kidding.

    I honestly believe in younger talented All Stars that have that hunger can help this team.

    They aren't. In the NFL, maybe, but the NBA contracts are pretty much iron-clad.

    The only reason i can believe this is because the Suns have been sucking so much in the last 5/6 years...they've been in the lottery every year and bascially drafted a bust every single time aside for Booker and maybe Ayton (i say maybe cause i'm personally not sure about how good he will be in the end, i think they'll probably regret not taking Doncic). So, i can see them being dead tired of betting on young players that usually don't pan out, paying million $ to have constantly a bottom 3 team year after year must be really ugly.

    Lmao i just saw that they arrested Holmes too, in Miami on a mar1juana charge...i mean, it's like once you're in Phoenix your career is going to take a hit no matter what, at this point i wouldn't be shocked if a random team gets Josh Jackson and in 12 months he's an all star :D
